A study of al-Risalah al-Bahirah presents a departure in the interpretation of Abu Y`acqub al-Sijistani's (d. approximately between 386/996 and 393/1002--3) writings. It is the first critical edition and translation of al-Risalah al-Bahirah . / Previous scholarship has concentrated on the quest for the historical Sijistani and his alignment with the Fat&dotbelow;imid Imams. This thesis explains Sijistani's relationship with the Fat&dotbelow;imids through a critical analysis of his doctrines of revelation, resurrection and retribution using the Bahirah as its focus.
